Matt Cornell Rope Saddle

Thanks Jared, I'm not giving up yet. I remember the Onyx took some time to dial in also and it has way less adjustment.

So after rereading this thread and doing some Google pic searches, it looks like I need to loosen my legs and shorten my bridge for starters.

I need to loosen my legs...

 

[monkeylove]

So loosened the legs and slacked up the bungee some, then shortened the bridge a few times. I think it's a keeper. Much better than yesterday. The Suspenders not so much. They work okay for saw weight but for me Swings chestie is a much better option for tending on the way up. Probably stick with Swings 100% and just throw the suspenders over it if I got to carry a big saw.

Yes. The tending on the chest harness sucks. I totally agree.

Okay, so as soon as I saw the post for #Swings' Chesties, I sent him a "PM", but to no avail, within 15 minutes, he posted, "Sold Out", so since that has occurred, I've ordered a "4SRT" chest harness. I'm wondering if anyone has or uses these harnesses? All of the other chest harnesses that I've used have been extremely uncomfortable or cut in to my neck and under arm muscles. Any input or advice would be extremely helpful! Swingdude, you gotta get off your little pony, and start making a Shite Load more of your "Chesties" Damn It, Man!

What I really like about Swings is that you can snug it up close. The suspenders and other versions I have tried never really did that. You always knew they were on and never quite tended well. I think the Weaver might be a close copy of Pauls but his is made with love and pixie dust.

 

[Dave Rohach]

I'm really "Big" on the "Pixie Dust", nonetheless, Paul's gotta get off that pony, and get some Bizness taken care of!
Thanks Frank!

Mabey we can get Paul and Richard together to process a new chestie. Maybe one with tubes and bungee cord. One side to tend your primary and one side to tend your "non-knee" ascender.

 

[Dave Rohach]

Then we'd have to deal with "Patents", don't wanna go there! head lowered.

Dave I have a chestie you can get....PM me...

Well, if you have an ascender attached to your foot and to the chestie, it really wouldn't be a "knee" ascender would it?? There may some merit to this suggestion.

See, I am more than just eye candy.

Spent 4 hours today dead limbing in the MRCS. I am starting to really like this thing. The legs a little to much and can occasionally get off center of my thighs. I thought some others had a cure for this but if not I think I might have one I will try. Basically just accessory cord with a Blakes on each end parallel to the leg cord but outside the ring. Basically creating an adjustable bump stop.

 

[Steve Connally]

Mine does too but oddly only on the left leg. I can feel when it's off and I just tug a bit between my legs. Whammo it's just rite.

 

[monkeylove]

Thats what I keep doing too. If my idea works I'll post up a pic. Today was a lot of trre climbing and not much rope climbing so it did it a little more than normal.

 

[monkeylove]

I went from the NT to this, one of the main reasons was the old school belt.

 

[monkeylove]

It's a fad.

Yep, that and the Internet.

 

[Steve Connally]

It's not a fad. Most people who find discomfort have it poorly adjusted. Do you own one bob? Did you not see pictures before you bought it? Amazingly what you see is what you get in the advertisement. I love mine. It's my perfect saddle.

 

[96coal449]

Tree climbing is also a fad, just wait and see.

I don't climb for fun anymore, if that's what your getting at .... . Sometimes my STATE of mind will alter that though!
